Of course 2 lenses would be ideal....something like a mirror, and a yellow, high intensity blue, or clear.

However, from what I've heard, oakley's high intensity (iridiums?) work pretty well all day and night...couldn't vouch for that one, though.

2 sets are ideal, but kind of a pain. I always have a mirror and a clear for my spys, and I love it.

instead of getting an irridium which cost like 120 buy and normal lense with teh gogle so its like 80. then just buy a clear lense that you can switch for when you ski at night

I tried my black iridium at night but I thought they were too dark. I tried my persimmon and those were better, but still not ideal. If you ride a lot at night, get a clear one - they're pretty cheap - and have an iridium for day riding. Check oakley's site for the lens transmissions.

the VR28 lense is the best for sunny and night time.

its like a dark brown, so it works in both lights. my brother has some

the g30 lens is a good all around lens, if ur gonna use two lenses its easier to just get two pairs, getboards.com has some a frames for 50 i just bought a pair.

Get a Polarized lens for bright days, and a clear lens for night skiing.

Polarized lenses make the sky darker and the snow more in correct contrast, same as a polarizing filter on a camera would do.

I have fire lenses. Theyre awesome for skiing in the day. They suck at night though. Blue Mt had enough lights in there park to wear them though.

if you dont really care, you could get the electric EG1's for $70 and you get two lenses, you get an amber-chrome and a clear-chrome

Oakley don't make polarized goggle lenses, do they? Polarized lenses do a grat job though - I tried some of my mom's sunglasses and they were pretty sweet (expensive though).

the hi-iridium is pretty good, tint enough for the day, clear enough for the night. or you could just get like a spy mx with clear lens for 30$

I have A frames with iridium lenses and they work great for both night and day, plus I got them for like $80 at our race sale thing. I would recommend them also if your just getting one goggle, but clear is always better for night.

get a-frames, but get the light blue ones, they kinda have a greeny-yellow tint in some lights, they look soooo sick
